[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 269860, member: 1295"] Another race in the books this past weekend to close out 2012. We had nearly 80 hours of seat time in 4 races this year. Took the green and checkered everyday that we raced! [IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/InDashop/Lemons/img_0072_std_zps0373c5b6.jpg[/IMG] This past weekend was the 24 Hour of Lemons Season Ender "Heeps in the Heart of Texas". We made the cover shot of the Car & Driver magazine blog [url=http://blog.caranddriver.com/lemons-heaps-in-the-heart-of-texas-inspections-a-harley-powered-prius-and-some-other-stuff-we-didnt-really-notice/]http://blog.caranddriver.com/lemons-heaps-in-the-heart-of-texas-inspections-a-harley-powered-prius-and-some-other-stuff-we-didnt-really-notice/[/url] Now on to the actual race GOD DAMN IT WAS COLD!!!! We finished 5th Overall, and 2nd in Class B, thus sealing our position of winning the "Cherokee Cup". We were 12 laps behind the car that finished 1st in class, we should have never been 12 laps down. We had 25 minutes of downtime all weekend and lost by 18 minutes. Saturday didnt start out all glorious. We arrived at the race trailer to unload our warm racecar only to find out the trailer heater shut off sometime overnight and the upper radiator hose was frozen. Since you cant run Anti-Freeze all teams ran the same risk. We did a quick dethaw session and got the car out to the starting grid. Green flag lets go racing. The phrase "you cant win a race in one corner, but you can certainly lose one" has never been so true. We had minimal downtime but it was due to a blown tranny cooler line....which was due to overcooking into a turn and downshifting...which spiked the line pressure and thus blowing a fitting, which in turn puked all our tranny fluid all over the track, we made tons of friends over that..... Other than that it was a pretty uneventful race. We just kept turning very fast, very steady laps, we didnt leave the track really (well I had a 2 off on Sunday but no body saw it). I had a spin, and Steve had a spin. Only Steves was blackflag worthy, mine was power steering related. We are still editing vid, and are stupid slow at it. Until then, I've got two videos for your enjoyments....... Slow MO of one of the weekends wrecks Lancia vs. Fairmont wagon. These guys are doing about 90mph maybe a touch higher at this point of the track.
